audience comments:
'MWLTH gigs, curated by composers John Lely and Tim Parkinson, always bring a combination of the brand new, the unfamiliar and the unjustly overlooked, often reviving works previously thought lost to live performance.' (Ben Harper)
'As twilight slowly faded through the church windows, slow exchanges between voice and instrument, instrument and instrument, untreated and prepared piano sounds inculcated a state of mesmerisation in the audience, subdued but held in suspense.' (Ben Harper)
'Congrats on the 50th concert in their @mwlth series on Friday. Very enjoyable finish to their season too with some stunning performances by Séverine Ballon of her own and Newton Armstrong's works and Beth Griffith singing John McGuire.'
'Brilliant finale to this year's @mwlth season, with Severine Ballon and Beth Griffith singing John McGuire's 'A Cappella'.'
'Thing I like about this series is that I can see all these names on the programme who I'm not aware of and assume I'm going to discover something exciting.' (Ben Harper)

'...the series has become a central hub of a community that centers in London
but overlaps with other near and distant localities, both in programming and in
the visitors drawn to it.'

support music we'd like to hear
We are a collective of musicians and composers who, since 2005, have been creating a one-of-a-kind space where we welcome listeners to come together to share and celebrate new and neglected contemporary music. We hand-pick the programmes with the aim of sharing our fascination and enthusiasm with everyone. We provide a platform for creative & experimental work, for showcasing emerging talent, and for promoting learning and collaboration.
As a not-for-profit organisation, our ability to sustain this series depends solely on ticket sales, funding awards, and donations, with all of the proceeds going towards the musicians and composers. We strive to keep ticket prices affordable so that as many as possible can experience these exceptional events.
Please consider supporting Music We'd Like to Hear with a one-off or regular donation. Every contribution helps us to continue providing this space for inspiring music from our world-wide community.
